Emotional Rollercoaster

I could use a graphic organizer just about now. Perhaps a Venn Diagram, a T-chart or perhaps a Double Bubble thinking map. Something to get my ideas organized. A little sleep deprived, a little emotionally spent but not banckrupt, and just plain tired. Thank goodness for a borrowed internet connection, cell phones, sisters, cousins who came to visit and mom waking up and being grouchy. Grouchy being better than non responsive and unwakeable. Well just plain sleeping, bordering on coma, at least that is what we thought yesterday, but no. She woke up. Her small black eyes peeping out from behind her lazy eyelids and hearing her ask for water. Then saying she wanted that face mask off her face. Then complaining about her stomach and that an aspirin could fix it. To get her an aspirin. It's good to have her back for a while. We are all here for just a while. I am selfish. I want some more "Dios te bendiga" and "Te quiero mucho" but for now I will just have to get by with "tengo sed" y "me duele el estomago" (la pobre)and hope she will get better soon.

Did I tell you I am in Puerto Rico taking care of my mom who is in the hospital?

About Me

About me? I live in Carolina, Puerto Rico. I recently moved back to the island to the surprise of many people. I almost feel like a salmon swimming upstream against that huge current of people migrating to the mainland. About what I care about-- well I love my family, I love people, love beauty, especially in nature. In fact, that is why I started this blog to share things I liked with my family. I take tons of pictures. This blog includes many of the them, especially to document what I paint and where I travel.
Simply put, I am a person on a journey like all of us, hoping to make everyday better, hopeful to be kinder to others and to live out my faith in God. Psalm 19, embodies it. Enjoy my blog!
Creo que debo decir algo en español. Soy puertorriqueña, nacida en el Viejo San Juan y me fui a vivir a los Estados Unidos a los cinco años. Unos de mis mas atesorados recuerdos era de las aceras anchas del Parque Luis Muñoz Rivera y sus lindas plantas. Un jardin. Que curioso verdad? Amo a mi Puerto Rico y voy y vengo a menudo, lo suficiente para siempre poder guiar por sus calles, sus montes, pasear por sus playas, y mi querido Naranjito. Los quiero mucho!
